The do Command
Enter an EXEC mode command from any CONFIGURATION mode (CONFIGURATION, INTERFACE,
SPANNING TREE, etc.) without returning to EXEC mode by preceding the EXEC mode command with
the command
do. Figure 2-4 illustrates the do command.
Figure 2-4. Using the do Command
Undoing Commands
When you enter a command, the command line is added to the running configuration file. Disable a
command and remove it from the running-config by entering the original command preceded by the
command
no. For example, to delete an ip address configured on an interface, use the no ip address
ip-address command, as shown in Figure 2-5.
Figure 2-5. Undoing a command with the no Command
Layer 2 protocols are disabled by default. Enable them using the no disable command. For example, in
PROTOCOL SPANNING TREE mode, enter
no disable to enable Spanning Tree.
Note: The following commands cannot be modified by the do command: enable, disable, exit, and
configure.
Note: Use the help or ? command as discussed in Obtaining Help command to help you construct the
“no” form of a command.
